Varna
by Mrs. Bill Chessell
Mr. & Mrs. Grant Webster
spend an enjoyable eight days in
sunny Jamaica, staying at
Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.
They toured Kingston by bus and
at Dunn Falls they met Mr. &
Mrs. Bob Miller of London,
formerly of Clinton. They were
interested in the various crops
grown, which included pineapple,
sugar cane, bananas, coconuts,
coffee, cocoa and citrus fruits.
There were feedlots there, too.
Big cars are scarce, as gas is
$2.00 a gallon Bread is $1.50.
They found the native people
very friendly, and were im-
pressed with the very white sand
on the extensive beaches, With an
air temperature of 90 and water
78, it was great for swimming.
We are pleased to report that
Rev. Taylor is off the heart
monitor and coming along fine.
The ladies were in charge of the
church service on Sunday. Mrs.
Louis Taylor read the scripture
and Mrs. Tom Consitt told the
children's story. Mrs. Bill
Dowson led the service and very
capably delivered the sermon,
We wish to express the sym-
pathy of the community to the
family of Mrs. Fred Reid, who
passed away on Saturday.
We're sorry to hear that Mrs.
Morris Taylor's mother passed
away in New Brunswick in late -
February. Our sympathy to
Connie and her husband and
family.
Congratulations to Ivan
McClymont, who has been named
Master of the Orange Lodges of
Huron County.

The worship service for the
U.C.W. meeting on Thursday

Mary Chessell opened the
meeting with the poem "There is
No Unbelief". Breathe on Me,
Breath of God was sung, and
Sharon Chuter read Luke 6:12 to
19 and gave a meditation on it.
Mrs. Geo. Reid led in prayer.
Sharon read "March Winds and
Sunshine" and Mary Chessell
read "Think of Me as a Person",
a poem which might have been
written by a mentally retarded
child.
